Looking to make 'complex' raw vegan recipes that are more than just dried fruit and require a dehydrator. Is this good for those applications?

We've made some more complex recipes like dehydrated chili and so forth. You might want to get a thermometer for it if you need an exact temperature, but we're really happy with it. What sorts of recipes are you planning to make?

I haven't used that type specifically to answer that question. I did, however, use freeze dried as well as ready made and then remade with a tablespoon or two with my own. I am thinking these cultures are pretty hearty. Its worth a try.

Hello! You can definitely dehydrate your own cereals/grains/oats. Here are a few recipes: http://www.yumuniverse.com/2012/05/24/better-than-boxed-strawberry-oat-breakfast-cereal/ http://www.food.com/recipe/raw-vegan-quot-toasted-quot-apple-cinnamon-cereal-dehydrator-492063 http://theblissfulchef.com/2012/08/guest-post-tips-for-using-your-dehydrator-and-raw-buckwheaties-cereal/ Just a few examples! You can definitely dehydrate the fruit to go in the cereal :-) Hope this helps!

I did use it to dehydrate a couple of years ago. I remember it worked well. I sliced fruit really thin to make fruit leather. Do a trial batch.

I have never used it to dehydrate meat but the manufacture claims you can make jerky in this.If that is your purpose I suggest you get the 6 or more tray model.

I did some online research before buying this model, but I can't say I've ranked ALL the choices. I can tell you this dehydrator works well, is built to last, and performs as advertised. With 9 trays, it can dry several dozen apples or similar fruit at once. Well worth the money if you do much drying.

Yes, - I use mine to make drinks with apple, pineapple, kale, strawberries, spinach, bananas, etc for health drinks, but it is not a juicer, so don't know about raw carrots...cooked carrots, broccoli cooked potatoes - yes - made cream of broccoli. Will do ice, frozen berries, etc. alsoBob/CA

I don't see why not. This particular kit is to make jerky from ground meat, however if your using a marinated steak/roast the dehydrator will still work find for that purpose

Hi Nancy, I have not made yogurt in my dehydrator but I googled it and it seems that you can make it! You would remove some of the trays to fit the jars. You may want to contact the company that makes the dehydrator and see what advice they can give you. It is a great machine though - I have made bread and kale chips! Paula

I have not done meat yet, but plan too. Squash, limes, lemons, watermelon...all work great. I did buy some polypropylene mesh dehydrator screens from SunWorks to line the trays with. Makes it SO MUCH EASIER to clean and remove the dried products.

I'm sure u can dehydrate kale easily. Don't know how they'll come out compared to the oven. Time wise. It really depends, every couple hours you'll want to move the order of the trays and just check the dryness then. You can't really overdo it so it's not a huge deal.

I do not know if you can grind dehydrated veggies, but the grinder is terrible. It doesn't stay at the desired setting. I would not invest into it. We returned it and got the family grain mill which was great for a hand milling grinder otherwise we have the wondermill more electric. Hope that helps.

probably not very well. it seems to work best as a guacamole maker (you know: stuff you can add a little liquid to?) or salsa, or pickles for tuna salad. it is pretty small. it specifically says chopping chocolate is a bad idea; probably due to it potentially scratching the plastic.dry stuff like nuts comes out very unevenly chopped; but hey, i likes it just fine. maybe a more industrial (and more expensive) food processor is what you're needin'.

I have used this dehydrator to dry apples (various types) and veggies. They both dried beautifully! I failed to mention that in my review! Again, I would highly recommend this dehydrator!

No I did a lot of dehydration. The slices are just right. I love mine and am 100 percent happy. Wish I had bought one years ago. It saves hours of time.
